Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and good leadership of a platoon during the operations near Le Verquier, on 18th September 1918. It was due to his keeness and ability that he was able to keep his company commander well posted in all movements of the troops on his flank. Immediately after the capture of the objective he went forward, under very heavy machine gun fire, and selected outpost positions to cover his company during consolidation.'
